AGT's first live show last night

last year

last modified: last year

All I can say is WOW! ! !

All of the acts really came through big time. Even some I didn't much like in the auditions really stepped things up. One in particular, I don't remember what the name of the act is, the couple from Ukraine, I was disappointed when they were put through from their audition, but they were great last night.

But my favorite is still Drake Millegan. Who is yours?

There are a few others that I think are some serious competition for Drake, but I hope he does win it all. As Sophia said, he's the 'whole package', voice, stage presence, talent, song writer, looks, it's all there. And ambition.

And actually, quite a few of the acts are not really amateurs, been that way every year.

Simon was upset that that girl singer didn't make it through, I guess the perspective from the judge's position is a lot different than it is from a TV screen at home. True, she had a good back story, her song and her voice was nice, but I didn't think it came across as all that special, more on the 'blah'' side if that makes sense. Apparently the majority of the voters felt the same thing.

I wonder why they changed the way they are doing this, eliminating the quarter finals and going directly from the live show to the finals?

ETA: 'That girl singer' is Ava Swiss. Had to look up her name.

I only saw a couple of the contestants...and the young Sax player (Avery?) stunned

me!!! Think it said he was just 21. Wow! I think Drake was most everyone's

favorite, though.

I didn't see it so I can't say. It hits a little to close to home. My DS and SO were there three years ago, backpacking for a month. I gave them the lecture, you know the one all moms give their kids, and told them to run like HELL toward higher ground, if the water disappeared off the shoreline. While they were there, there was an earthquake off shore, and tsunami warnings were out. I was frantic trying to find out if they were alright. It was three or four days before I heard from them. They were fine, on the other side of the island when that happened, away from the warning area. I never want to go through that fear again!

Had our first dog fight last night.

Dog fights, even if just short arguments, are scary... especially between LARGE dogs. Had 2 Rotties years ago... totaled close to 200 lbs. They naturally played very rough.... remember a time when they tipped over the SOFA in play!! Maybe 2-3 times total, one got a little to rough and the other took offense... probably the smaller, BETA dog... I considered myself the alpha;) Same goes for territory as a fighting point. Went to SILs house years ago with a Dobie. They had a shepherd/husky mix and both dogs got along famously. The husky mix had a playful habit of nosing the back of my head... a quick jump and bump. Well, my dog took offense to that for some reason. BUT it wasn't her yard! Brief snarliing and lots of white teeth showing, but they didn't hurt each other. My dog learned it was NOT her yard that day and they never "fought" again>

I've been seeing a chiropractor on a monthly basis since a car accident something like 15 years ago. He released me from treatment from the wreck, but since my insurance covered it hubby and I go once a month, and LOVE it! Of course, some chiros want you to go vegan and do hot yoga and all that rot, some are just regular people like us! Who want to fix us! You have to shop around.

Anyone watch AGT last night?

There were a couple that I was glad didn't make it through, but no one I was particularly rooting for. Drake Millegan is still my #1 favorite, with Chapel Hart 2nd in line. I've got a feeling they will probably win the whole thing, though. They've already stirred up a lot of interest. I saw on Facebook that they've been invited to sing on the Grand Ol' Opry, and with a chance like that, they don't need the AGT win. Rusty

Drake will win it all. But he is really no amateur. He has several videos on youtube. But his original songs will be hits.
